Royal Mail could be allowed to axe Saturday deliveries under a review by the postal regulator.
Postcomm chief executive Sarah Chamber told a conference that reducing deliveries from six to five days a week was under consideration to help Royal Mail cut its losses.
It is one of a range of options in the regulator's strategy review of post services beyond 2010.
The idea comes three years after Royal Mail was allowed to end second daily deliveries to help restore it to profitability.
